Ingredients explained

Water
Est. %80
Function
Origin
WaterThe most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.
Glycerin

Coco-Glucoside
Est. %4
Function
Origin

Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate

Citric Acid

Function
Origin

Glyceryl Caprylate
Est. %1

Tocopherol
Est. %0.3
